1993 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER Complaints

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE LANES IN TRAFFIC, THE STEERING LOST CONTROL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPIN 3 TIMES AND FACE ONCOMING TRAFFIC, ANOTHER TIME THE STEERING LOST CONTROL WAS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS CUT OFF BY ANOTHER VEHICLE , CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL 00V-305, HOWEVER THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RECALL HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. *SLC

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE & IT WOULD NOT GO OUT OF FIRST GEAR. REPAIR SHOP RECOMMENDED TURNING THE VAN OFF TO RESET THE FAIL STOP. *AK

A LOUD NOISE IS HEARD WHEN FUEL TANK IS FULL BUT NOISE SUBSIDES AS FUEL IS USED UP. YH

TRANSMISSION WILL NOT GO IN REVERSE WHILE ENGINE STILL COLD (APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS). INTERMITTENT IN WINTER OF 1998-99, INCREASING TO CHRONIC SITUATION BY SUMMER OF 1999. SITUATIONS RANGED FROM ANNOYING (NOT ABLE TO BACK UP AT GAS PUMP) TO DANGEROUS. WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN NOT ABLE TO GET OUT OF LANE ON FAST, BUSY ROAD WHERE CONSTRUCTION FORCED THEM OUT OF LANE (ROUTE 33 IN GREENLAND/PORTSMOUTH NH, IN OCTOBER, 1999). OTHER TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN NOT SHIFTING UP FROM 2ND TO THIRD WHILE COLD (50,000 MILES), AND HAS ALWAYS SHIFTED LOUDLY AND WITH A THUD. SITUATIONS HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY MORE DANGEROUS, AND WE FEEL THAT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN A 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. THANK YOU.
